Seeing that the woman ignored him, Simon bent down and stretched out his hand, and hugged her directly.

Natasha Kinski did not panic after being suddenly attacked, but twisted her body, as if looking for a more comfortable position.

Simon carried the woman to the edge of the pool and gently dropped the woman into the water.

There was a splash in the courtyard.

Then nothing happened.

Simon, who originally wanted to make a joke, looked helplessly at the woman who sank to the bottom of the pool motionlessly and stared at him with wide eyes.

A string of blisters came out.

Two strings of blisters came out.

Three strings of blisters came out.

After more than a minute, the woman obviously started to drink water, and she still stared at Simon from the bottom of the pool, showing no intention of getting up.

Simon originally wanted to see how long Natasha Kinski could last, but suddenly remembered the strong self-destructive tendency in this woman's bones.

If left alone, she might really drown herself in this pool.

Thinking of this, Simon didn't have time to take off his clothes, so he jumped into the water in his shirt and trousers, reached out and fished the woman out by the pool.

Holding on to the edge of the pool to leave the pool, he found that Natasha Kinski's eyes were closed and she was completely motionless. Simon, who was really shocked, quickly leaned over her on his knees and pressed her.

After spitting out a few sips of water, Natasha Kinski opened her eyes again, feeling that the man was still exerting force, she scratched his leg dissatisfiedly in protest.

Simon was even angrier.

It's not so scary to take your own life.

Seeing that the woman had recovered and still had the strength to grab herself, he raised his hand and slapped her buttocks a few times.

After a few slaps, Natasha Kinski let out a muffled groan, and then was thrown on the couch next to her.

Painful, she changed her position and lay down on her side. Noticing that Simon still had a frightened expression, the woman giggled with complacency in her eyes.

Simon was still a little scared, and sat down on the recliner next to him, wiped the water stains on his face, took off the soaked shirt and threw it aside, saw the woman smiling heartlessly, and said in a bad mood: "I can't keep it." You, let's go."

"Don't go," Natasha Kinski shook her head, and suggested confidently, "You can throw me out."

Simon imagined the woman lying in front of his house with her eyes wide open, lost her temper completely, picked up the shirt next to her, got up and walked towards the villa.

Natasha Kinski was only wearing a bathing suit and didn't care, but he was wet and had to be changed quickly.

Entering the living room, Janet was crooked on the sofa holding a cordless phone and talking to the other side. Seeing Simon coming in wet, she was surprised for a while, then gave him a bad look, and pouted her mouth upstairs.

Simon came to the upstairs bedroom, took a brief shower, and was getting dressed when Janet walked in, smiling curiously, "What happened just now?"

"I fell into the water," Simon said perfunctorily, and then changed the subject: "Have you been chatting with Sophia for so long?"

Janet didn't get to the bottom of it either, she stepped forward to help Simon straighten the collar of his shirt, and said, "David called and asked if we want to go to England this time."

Simon remembered David Johnston, Janet's fourth brother.

The filming of "Batman" was completed in April. Before Simon left Melbourne, he happened to meet David Johnston to go home to visit relatives, and brought a girlfriend who was not recognized by Raymond Johnston.It's just that, considering the bookishness of David Johnston, it is still possible to call to greet Jenny, and it is not very reliable to invite them to England.

Janet helped Simon straighten his collar and said with a smile, "Think about it?"

"His girlfriend?"

"Yeah, her name is Leslie Wheatett. The old man doesn't like her because she thinks too much. But I think it's okay. David is so stupid. It's just right to find a shrewd wife."

"We don't have time to go to England this time."

Cersei Capital's layout in the U.S. bond market is close to being closed, and the matter here is over, and they have to return to New York.

"That's what I told him. I can't go this time." Janet said, and found that Simon hadn't worn shoes yet. She went to the shoe cabinet and picked out a pair of leather shoes and handed them over, saying, "Put the shoes on, and I'll go change my clothes too." .Go to dinner first, Sophia will wait for us in the city, and we can go to some interesting clubs at night."

Chapter 294 Kung Fu Behind the Scenes (Revision)

9 month 23 day.

On the second day of the opening of Milan Fashion Week, just after nine o'clock in the morning, a crowd of people began to gather in an abandoned factory in the Fleini district on the western outskirts of Milan.

Gucci's Spring-Summer 1990 Women's Fashion Show will be held at ten o'clock.

Three months ago, since the selection of the abandoned factory on Mestner Boulevard in the eastern suburb of Franey, Gucci's team began to decorate the factory that will be used for this big show.As of the opening of the fashion week, even the Mestner Avenue outside the factory is full of Gucci brand posters, and all the details of the lighting, seats, catwalks, etc. in the factory for catwalks are also pursuing excellence.

In the final analysis, this big show is just a grand marketing for the Gucci brand after all, in order to reshape the high-end image of this luxury brand after years of Gucci decline.Therefore, the clothes displayed in the big show are actually secondary. As long as you do it with your heart, it is impossible for an excellent designer to design a work that is too failed.

The focus of the big show is still behind the scenes.

In order to maximize the exposure of this big show, and the exposure of a positive image, Gucci's marketing team has also been working on media public relations since a few months ago, and Daenerys Entertainment has also provided as much as possible to Gucci. for all the help.

Therefore, before the start of the big show, many top fashion magazines had been reserved by Gucci, and CNN, MTV, and many TV stations in Europe, Australia and even Asia were also invited to interview and report on the big show.For this reason, Gucci also specially invited stars from different countries and regions to cooperate on the camera. Valerie Golino, who has starred in "Rain Man" and "Batman" in succession and is famous in Italy, will deal with the local media. Hollywood singers such as Na Davis will appear in the cameras of CNN and MTV, Natasha Kinski will be interviewed by French TV, and so on.

In terms of models, under the influence of Gucci and the obvious efforts of competing brands such as Dior and Chanel, the most famous supermodels in recent years, such as Claudia Schiffer and Linda Evangeline Star Still absent.

However, the model team of this big show is still strong, Cindy Crawford, Carla Bruni, Paulina Priskova, Stephanie Seymour, Helena Christensen and other well-known The models are more than enough to hold up the stars of this runway.

In addition, there is naturally the "Gucci Documentary" produced around this big show.

After the big show, this documentary is expected to be released in North American theaters in November, and will also be released in theaters in Europe and Asia.

Like Cannes' 'Gucci Night' in May, Simon remains a mascot for the show.

However, Simon originally planned to take a break after finishing "Batman", so this time is not in a hurry, not to mention that it can give Janet a legitimate reason to get rid of the shackles of Cersei's capital.Therefore, after the big show, although there are still many things waiting for Simon to deal with, he doesn't need to leave in a hurry like last time.

I played late last night at a club in the city, and I still got up early today.

From the shore of Lake Como to the eastern suburbs of Milan, everyone had breakfast together. It was less than eight o'clock, and everyone then devoted themselves to today's busy work.The previous rehearsal, the show is expected to only last 15 minutes, however, various work schedules may be busy for two or three days.

Again, Kung Fu is behind the scenes.

"Hey, Maggie... yeah, Jenny and I are all Gucci, in order to avoid only wearing this brand in the future, I'm already considering buying some other luxury brands... I owe you an accompaniment, of course I didn't forget. "

……

"Gina, and Jeff, it's great to have you guys over here... Since it's a baseball movie, there's always going to be some training. After "The Pink League," I promise you'll be promoted to an action actress...Okay, I Did you just say something?"

……

"Riley, you are so beautiful today...Italian is of course no problem, but I still prefer your English with an accent."

……

"Hello, Ms. Wintour... Thank you, I also think the show layout is really great, but this is the credit of Ford and the others, and I didn't contribute much."

……

The show was about to start, and after taking pictures by the media wall, a group of guests temporarily gathered in the waiting area to chat with each other.

Sophia and Tom Ford were nervously making final preparations, while Simon and Janet took on the role of hosts and shuttled through the crowd to greet everyone.

The two socialized in the crowd. After a short break, Janet suddenly leaned into Simon's ear and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't Sandra come over this time?"

"She's shooting a new film, and she can't find time," Simon smiled and posted on the woman's face, "You want Sandy to come over?"

When Simon was still in Los Angeles a few days ago, Sandra called him specifically to explain this matter. In order to broaden the scope of the play, Sandra accepted a musical from Columbia Pictures.

Starting from the annual box office champion "Grease" in 1978, musicals have always been a very important category in Hollywood in these years, and hot works abound.

Although I have never heard of the musical called "Forbidden Dance", since Sandra wanted to try it, Simon did not dissuade her.With several hit movies in a row, and another Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, Sandra's position has been solid, and it doesn't matter if one or two works fail.

There was of course no need to explain these details to Janet.

Listening to Simon's answer, Janet curled her lips and said, "It would be better if she never appeared in front of me."

While chatting, a hot Latina girl approached the two of them. Simon recognized Sabina Furilli from his previous trip to Florence and greeted them with a smile, "Hi, Sabina, why are you here?"

Sabina Fraili showed a slightly flattered expression on her face, and said, "Simon, I didn't expect you to remember me, the invitation letter Ms. Fish gave me. Well, this is your girlfriend?"

"Yes, Janet Johnston, Janet, this is Sabina Fraili."

The two women greeted each other a few words, and Sabina Furilli talked about her recent affairs. She just got a role from Giuseppe Tornatore's new film "Family Journey". one of the children.There is no concealment in the words that Sophia helped some of it.

After "Cinema Paradise" replaced "Sex, Lies and Videotape" in the original time and space and won the Palme d'Or, Giuseppe Tornatore immediately became a first-line director in Italy. Bought away, new film projects were looted.

However, due to a mistake in the distribution strategy, "Paradise Cinema" did not make any waves in North America.

Daenerys Entertainment has also become one of the producers of Tonadore's new film "Family Journey" after some ups and downs. On the low side, Gaomen Films acquired the omni-channel copyright of the film in North America at the cost of investing 300 million US dollars.

At the same time, because of the failure of "Paradise Cinema" in North America and the growing popularity of Daenerys Entertainment, Gaomen Pictures also has a great say in the production of this film.

Gucci and Gomen Films are collaborating on the "Gucci Documentary", and Sofia is naturally in touch with Deutschmann.Also in Italy, it wasn't too difficult to help Sabina Furilli land a role in "Family Journey."Simon has seen the script of "Family Journey", one of the protagonist's children is a model, and the image of Sabina Fraili is just right.

It's just that I don't quite understand why Sophia wants to help this woman. The last brief encounter probably didn't reach this level of intimacy.

Near ten o'clock, the guests began to enter and sit down.

Although a large number of guests were invited, the core of this show is still the new Gucci clothes on the models. Therefore, the lights in the show are mainly concentrated on the runway.

However, in order to cooperate with the shooting of the documentary, the media reporters in the show no longer squatted on the side of the runway in front of the guests like other shows in this era, but deliberately divided the media area and the guests into two parts by lengthening the runway. part.

Simon and Janet didn't intend to appear too much in that "Gucci Documentary", so they specifically asked for a less conspicuous position, and it was the second row.The front row is basically reserved for a group of fashion celebrities and film and television celebrities who will be deliberately scanned by lights and cameras.

ten o'clock.

The lights in the show are dimmed, and the prelude music is played.

Sophia came out of the backstage with a tired expression, and Jennifer, who was sitting on Simon's left, took the initiative to give up the seat next to the man.

The spotlight gathered at the exit of the runway, and Cindy Crawford, who was responsible for the opening of the big show, appeared in front of everyone in a white dress with a round neck, sleeveless, backless, waist and knee length with obvious Gucci accessories style The skirt immediately gives people a bright feeling.

In all fairness, Simon is incapable of accepting most of the clothing styles of this era, especially the wide-shouldered suits of urban working women.

Under Simon's resistance, the women around him rarely wore such ladies' suits.

The fashion design style of this big show, because Sophia will often discuss with Simon through telephone and fax, and he also unknowingly conveys some design ideas in his memory to here.Now it seems that Tom Ford has indeed adopted many of Simon's suggestions, especially the suggestions of increasing the Gucci brand elements in the design and appropriately strengthening the complexity of fashion styles, because this can effectively avoid imitation.

Plagiarism and imitation of luxury brands has always been a headache for companies.

In addition, the suggestion to divide the fashion show into several sub-themes according to fashion styles and colors has also been implemented, and there is no phenomenon that the black and white tones will become red and green in a blink of an eye.

Speaking of it, Simon still did a lot of preparatory work in the communication with the Gucci team, but he has repeatedly watched the big show videos of other major luxury brands in recent years more than once.

Chapter 295 Cannibal Demoness (Repair)

This six-day Milan Fashion Week will have a total of 11 brand catwalk shows from nine o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the evening on the second day of the opening.

However, Gucci is definitely the only focus today. Italian luxury brands such as Prada, Armani, Fendi and Versace have previously staggered their show dates with Gucci.

The Gucci show was over, except for a few people who had to rush to leave, most of the other media and guests stayed.In addition to post-show photo interviews and other links, Gucci also arranged a sumptuous luncheon, and held a grand brand-themed party in the evening.

After watching the 15-minute catwalk with Simon, Sofia Fishy started busy again, and both Janet and Jennifer were pulled by her to help.

Simon turned to the rest area next door to the show, which was carefully furnished by another factory building.

Exquisite sofas, an open bar and essential Gucci product displays make this lounge area full of artistic atmosphere, and it is also convenient for people in it to rest and communicate.

After accepting media interviews and taking pictures, all the guests gradually gathered here for a rest, waiting for the luncheon at 11:30 to start.

Subsequently, the model team in charge of the catwalk also appeared one after another.

Because it is the busiest fashion season in the industry, these models will not only come to Milan for this show, but because of Gucci, they don't need to go to other shows at least this morning.

At the round table in the corner of the lounge area.

After Madonna came here, she pestered Simon and said, "Simon, the sales of the original soundtrack of "Bodyguard" are really amazing. How about helping me create an album? I can star in Daenerys Entertainment's movie for free."

Simon felt that the woman was almost sticking to him, so he had to step aside and said, "Maggie, the success of the original soundtrack of "Bodyguard" was just a coincidence. Besides, you came to star in Daenerys Entertainment's movie for free, so that The bargaining chip is not attractive at all."

"Oh, Simon, that's really hurtful. Didn't I do really well in Pulp Fiction?" Madonna persevered and slapped Simon again, saying, "Or, we could work together, just Like what Daenerys Entertainment did with Alistar Records on the Bodyguard soundtrack."

Simon shook his head firmly again, and said, "Making records is a lot of work, and I don't have the time now."

"Oh, Simon, you are so unfeeling, I still treat you as a good friend in vain."

Simon said with a smile: "Since we are friends, we should get less involved in work matters."

"You are wrong, friends should help each other," Madonna retorted, seeing that Simon did not let go, she turned to say: "Also, I just saw the shooting team of "Gucci Documentary", and I suddenly thought, what is my concert next year? It’s not like making a documentary.”

When Simon heard this, he immediately thought of Madonna's music documentary "Same Bed with Madonna".

In memory, Madonna's music documentary based on her 1990 'Blonde Ambitious' world tour grossed nearly $500 million worldwide for less than $3000 million, more than Michael Jackson's 1985 "Shadow Dancer" of the same type is much more successful.

However, knowing that the woman next to him is actually very smart, Simon did not immediately show any interest, but said: "The "Gucci Documentary" is mainly used for brand promotion. What do you do with the documentary?"
